Y’all, serious question here – does decorating a house from top to bottom for the first time ever really end? Don’t get me wrong, our house has come a LOOONG way (and I’m so excited to share the before and after journey with you guys so soon), but it’s just these “finishing touches” that just keep lingering. An empty shelf here, a missing rug there, and pretty much nothing hung on the walls…yet.

And then there’s the Palm Springs house which is currently in full decorating swing. Basically, if you talk to me these days, I’ve got one thing on the brain: home decor. So a few weeks ago I jumped at the chance to check out the brand new Villas Fashion Island community – I may not be in the market for a new apartment, but I’ll take all the home decor inspiration that I can get.

And guys, this place is pretty sweet. They’ve really thought of everything, from the killer gym to the outdoor community pizza oven, the on-site cafe that serves wine to the five (yes, five) pools. I mean, grab a glass of wine and throw a pizza into the outdoor pizza over? Sign me up. The model homes made me want to move right in, and I’ve since been on a serious hunt for that acrylic bar cart / table situation. Tell me that bar table above isn’t serious goals! Y’all, I NEED it, and so far, can’t find it.

Anywho, the moral of the story, if any of my friends are looking for some sweet new digs, well I’ve found ’em for ya. But you have to promise to invite me over for the wine and pizza.
